Hi guys,
I was on here a while ago soliciting advice regarding a membership at Strathfield. Due to a change in work circumstances, that got put on the backburner, and I think I may have missed the summer no joining fee special.
Anyway, since then i've been playing with a few social clubs, and not very satisfied with how the comps are run, or the courses being played. I've come to the conclusion that if I wanna get any better, I'll need to find a place to play in comps, a real handicap and practice facilities.
I've seen a few deals regarding membership for under 30 year olds, and noticed a few that were still pretty appealling: Oatlands, Bankstown, Cumberland, New Brighton are all within my price range. While they are all about 30-40 minutes from my current residence or work (Sydney CBD), i occassionally finish at about 3 would allow me just enough time for a sneaky 9 holes after work on occassion, and i generally don't mind planning my golf days in advance. I used to be a member at Ashlar and am quite fond of that course but that is about 30 min too far.
Anyone have any insights in what the membership are like at these places, how easy it is to get weekend tee times and general quality of the course? Are there any other places I should consider?
